New Folder Helps Lead In-plant to Banner Year

Business increased by about 35 percent for the in-plant’s 16 employees. Hopson knew it was time to beef up capacity in the shop’s bindery. So in December 2007, he brought in a third Vijuk folder to handle the workload.

The bindery is now home to three Vijuk folders: one SAF35 with three fold plates and two SAF36s, each outfitted with four fold plates. The in-plant handles Mary Kay’s printing needs with a pair of two-color, 29? Heidelberg presses; an ABDick 375 with a T-head; and a two-color Halm Jet press. The shop also handles the mailing needs of the company with four Böwe Bell + Howell inserters, one Videojet ink-jet machine and a hand assembly area.
